Is the only purpose of a quickleg 90 ell to install a dummy leg in the spare socket? Unlike the bw cushion/target tee which still has an open portion to collect sand, silt, etc., the quickleg 90 is a tee but still only has a 90 degree pattern internally. So is the spare socket only for dummy leg installation or is there another purpose?

I'm not familiar with the term so I had a search and still not clear what item you're talking about.
I think I know, but would like to be certain.

Hi LittleInch,
A cushion tee is similar except it is a butt weld fitting used in erosive services whereas a quickleg 90 is a socket weld/threaded fitting. See the link below and scroll down to page 8.

Strikes me that putting a dummy pipe in there is wholly bad idea as it will look like there should be flow out of the said pipe to anyone seeing it without knowing it is actually only internally an elbow....
Given these are not even a cushion tee type thing can't understand what's wrong with a normal elbow??
Never knowingly seen one, but you learn something every day...

Yes, those dummy leg/pipe supports can be misleading in the field. You have to be on your toes not to get misled. I've seen some labeled like "Pipe Support Only" or similar.
Good luck,
